COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONA strong Belgian-style Ale that has a long fermentation period using classic Belgian yeasts. The nose contains some banana and citrus notes while a complex fruitiness and light warming sensation are experienced upon tasting. The artwork is from our good friend and world-renowned artist Norton Wisdom.

Murky yellow color with almost no head. Aroma subdued lemon, some malt, some booze. Taste is lemon/orange, a little pineapple, some booze bite and a tiny bit of hops. A very mild tripel, kind of boring, I suppose. Easy drinking, "juicy" palate. Good, but doesn’t stand out.

bottle @ Party Town / Florence KY --- Clear pale amber, bubbly white rim head, dots and strings of lace. Taste is malt and caramel that moves through the palate with vinous notes (Chardonnay anyone?) and then slips easily to a medium length finish. Interesting variation on a Belgian Ale.

New 12 oz. bottle, listed 9% ABV. Pours a fairly clear golden with a decent off-white head that settles to a ring and leaves some soapy lace. Nose involves Belgian yeast spice, some stone fruit, maybe some honey, some floral notes. Pretty sweet, some bitter, a touch tart. Medium to full bodied, softer, some oiliness, bright with a spicy, fruity finish. Decent brew, easier drinking for the style. Perhaps begs for some more complexity.

Draft from the Upland Tasting Room. Pours a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, citrus fruits, sugars, and sweet malts. The flavor is the same. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a malty, sweet mouthfeel. Hides the alcohol well. But not that interesting overall.
